"This show may get off the rails quick so if it has got it what you witnessed yesterday what you witnessed up on capitol hill was one of the single most abominable grotesque and boring events you will ever witness in american history oh that's a big statement it's absolutely freaking true what what you saw yesterday up on capitol hill for all the wrong reasons was one valuable of episodes congressional testimony you will ever see this will be played if if liberty lovers are smart forever in this example of every single place our country went wrong what are you talking about the fbi hearing riley gains really no no yeah that was all valuable we're gonna get to that too but what happened yesterday with college presidents from and i think mark levin coined it we couldn't figure it out of my chat this morning who exactly made it up but uh we'll have people of the poison ivy league with ivy league up on capitol hill who could not answer the simplest of questions hey uh is calling for the mass killing of the jews a bad idea i don't jim it depends turn your mic on i need some help here right at the beginning of the show i need a little assistance because i'm starting to wonder if i'm crazy now you had all these cuts because you had to cut them for the show so you right yeah oh so at one point we're gonna play some audio from the hearing yesterday where u -pen and harvard they're like hey uh you think calling for jewish genocide you know killing the jews you you know you think that's a bad thing and then they're like well context jim and mike you can just chime in through jim too is there an appropriate context for calling for the mass death of jews i'm just checking i'm i i don't know man there is something there is oh oh mike's mike saying no too he's not even standing by it was an instant no phone she's not even standing by you now he's back to standing by it was a simple one he's got to get right back to that though quick uh yeah i i thought about that because i thought maybe maybe i'm crazy i mean they they jim they're the ivy league so they're smarter than us so i'm like maybe i'm crazy is there so i'm going through context of when genocide is appropriate like no no no oh i no put a little spreadsheet together of various contexts and everyone i went to say no definitely no it doesn't work no not that no no not so much maybe no no definitely not uh no there's i just i could really think of one right it's right jim just said it right it's like how about mutually assured destruction through thermonuclear war is there a context that's good no no not even in the movies even in the movies like terminating you're like ah that didn't go too well that poor john connor didn't have to work out that we could have been playing video games still i i i don't even know what to say what you yesterday on capitol hill tragically valuable yet level uh... apocalyptic abomination i don't know i i i have this a man on the arms this is is what we can do we either i don't know how did i don't know how to describe the abomination you saw yesterday supposedly the smartest people among that's not just ivy league participants in that university are students or employees is ivy league presidents we're talking about future leaders lawyers is doctors who were supposed to be the smartest amongst us you go to these institutions to go forth is the anointed ones and lead to steal a word from thomas so supposedly one of the smartest people on planet earth the president of the poison ivy league the president of these schools they can't answer a simple question about who is genocide folks i got a lot to talk about today got a pretty cool announcement coming up i got a and i'm going to get to but uh... the star of the trump thing but i i had to have a especially coming out of the podcast you know i get to warm up in the bullpen before i come on here and i don't know man i'm just i'm i'm pretty devastated about it because i do you expect some moment of moral clarity from even people you have completely desperate political views me from i share nothing in common with ninety percent of people at harvard neither do you probably more probably ninety five percent i saw something like six percent of the students are republican and i know if that's true sounds right i share nothing in common with them but is this world so up it rhymes with tucked is it so up that the president of a personally producing the leaders of tomorrow supposedly can't question like is this a bad thing to call for the killing of the jews on your campus and maybe that on keep now in mind if you're a conservative like charlie scroob at turning point and you walk on a campus at harvard or somewhere else you're probably taking your in life your hands they'll charge you a security fee because the tolerant co -exists students with the bumper stickers on their car will likely coexist you to death by probably trying to shank you or something as you walk on campus so calling for things like freedom of liberty and adherence to the bill of rights like turning point and charlie's group and any conservative speaker for that matter bring up charlie because he does it a lot you're you're in real danger on a liberal college campus in the ivy league like real danger you'll have to hire security but if you walk on that campus and talk about the mass genocide of the jews who will run defense for you the leadership of the university will be like well it's got to be in context i gotta go out of order a little bit because i this is jim really just cut five if you would i may play this again later but this is so important here this right now you know we don't worship politicians on the show we respect outcomes period that's it politicians are human beings most of them hate you anyway however when they do something good that produces an outcome then we should celebrate it because the outcome is what we respect and at least the chronic regardless of your personal feelings about her did an unbelievable job yesterday upon capitol hill she was talking to these ivy league presidents and in this clip here clip five she grills you pen president liz mcgill over anti semitism in calls for jewish genocide she's asking a rather simple question hey you know is it okay to call for jewish genocide on the campus the answer should be well no no don't we we don't call for the mass death of people like that's probably against like uh against like our code of conduct kind of thing i want you to listen to these people who simple question in one of the most tragically valuable things you will ever hear in your life check this out is mcgill at pen does calling for the genocide of jews violate pen's rules or code of conduct yes or no if the speech turns into conduct it can be harassment yes i am asking specifically calling for the genocide of jews does that constitute bullying or harassment if it is directed and severe pervasive it is harassment so the answer answer is yes it is a context dependent decision congresswoman it's a context dependent decision that's your testimony today calling for the genocide of jews is depending upon the context that is not bullying or harassment this is the easiest question to answer yes miss mcgill so is your testimony that you will not answer yes if it is yes or no if the speech becomes conduct it can be harassment yes conduct meaning committing the act of genocide the speech is not harassment this is unacceptable miss mcgill i'm going to give you one more opportunity for the world to see your answer does calling for the genocide of jews violate pens code of conduct when it comes to bullying and harassment yes or no it can be harassment what just happened did the president of u -pen liz mcgill just really for say calling genocide if it moves into conduct so jim just to be clear again if i may read this wrong if you actually go and kill all the you may you may jim violate a u -pen code of conduct that you may you may if you actually go out and kill all the jews on campus there's a possibility you may get a demerit card but if you jimbo if you call for it we're not really well it's up in the air folks it's totally

"And everybody needs to kind of step back on this immigration thing, the border stuff. So that's all I wanted to say. So like I said, I was trying to fit four weeks worth of calls into two minutes. So there you go. Thank you. All right. Thank you very much. Just like you're being a golf course. What? Yeah, my my my father and his wife live in El Paso and my brother went to visit recently and I said, How was it? Were there a lot of immigrants sleeping on the streets? He goes, No, I really didn't notice that problem of the immigrants coming over and being so noticeable. So yeah, I can get over inflated in the Yeah, media. but obviously, yes, democrats are the ones that want to participate in comprehensive border reform. The republicans do do not want to. Would you like to hear some horrible news? Another horrible idea by Elon Musk politically, Exactly. But it's exciting for me. Right. Because of the limited amount of impressions I do. Uh, Elon Musk is backing Conor McGregor for Irish president. Oh, boy. I thought you'd like that. you know, we'll get done. No, no, no. And that's what he'll get done. Wow. Wow. guess this is just like the we're in the era of the celebrity president, right? How many times we need to run the rock. We need to run the rock. I'm like, Hey, if that's what it takes to win, he has as much experiences as Donald Trump. It doesn't have failed businesses. It isn't a creep. So he's going to line himself with the right people. And my friend Rob, I gave him a cardboard cutout of Conor McGregor. So he would have the Irish you know, in his house. Okay. Everybody gets two cars in a bottle of proper 12. As he as Carlos once said, how did the world get so stupid? Get your t -shirt now at 70more .com. Okay. John in Well, you're on with Carlos. Hello, John. Hello. How are you? Good. Go ahead. This is actually my first time calling. Oh, welcome. Hello. Yeah. Yeah. First time calling. Uh, Stephanie, actually, uh, I, uh, just to let you know, I was actually a Republican looking and back I'd probably say, I don't know, maybe 10 years ago on my brother, Frank was a union man, actually turned me over and to the good side. Uh, actually, uh, I just wanted to pass that on to you. You're doing a fantastic job. Um, thank you for everything that you do. Um, but your brother and you have great taste. Go ahead. Yes, we do. Actually, we were actually the only, uh, Democrats in our family actually. So, um, but that's a whole other story I could tell you there too, but, uh, no, the reason why I was house calling stuff is, um, you know, maybe not, not, not as much as like getting advice from you, but, um, just to tell you a story about my brother, Mark, uh, he is, uh, my brother Mark was a, um, he's a, he's a but, um, big thumper, big mega, which says he's not a big mega guy, but I actually got in a huge argument with him Republican. Um, I threw out, and I know you say time and time again, you can throw out all the facts you want with these, these mega, you know, far right people, but it drives me nuts that you can throw all these facts out and they still will not, will not look, they just don't get it. They just will not agree with you and they will fight you to the end. And then all they can do is just throw out Biden, Biden, this Biden, that, well, showing and facts he still thinks that I'm wrong. Well, you know, we played, um, who is it? The thumper that thinks John F. Kennedy Jr. is actually Michael Lindell, the pillow guy. So those people, I think John are gone or lost to us, but there are, there's gotta be persuadable, you know, whether it's, uh, independents or, or whatever you want to call them. I think there are some people that you can reach with facts and the, you know, what is the, what's the saying we always say, right? Give me God, grant me the courage to change the things I The serenity prayer. Thank you. The serenity to accept the things I cannot change in and the wisdom to know the difference. I got a quote right on the first try. You have to get out of Iraq. Let's let's not focus on the ones I get wrong. I got that one right. Carlos, you got it right. Give the chick some credit. No, he's right. Uh, Conway, Conway changed his mind, right? He said he was wrong. you know, uh, any, uh, just, what's his name, John Sununu, like who who said literally Trump belongs in a mental institution is completely crazy. And then of course, when pressed the other day, Oh yeah, I would vote for him if he's the Republican. I mean, the definition of putting party before country, right. I mean, it's, they don't want to die. They don't want to get killed like Putin's adversaries. Yeah, I guess. Well, Here's some facts. Trump has based much of his campaign on the current state of inflation, promises prices Trump's policies are part of how inflation as bad got as as it is. Uh, Catherine Rampell claims in the post, she wrote inflation. The U S experience was actually a worldwide phenomenon brought a play. We said this a lot by supply chain issues and global energy shocks, uh, Joe Biden's inflation reduction act might have some impact on inflation by boosting energy production, uh, but not for years. Trump's ideas are all almost all inflationary. She writes, Trump levied all these dang tariffs in the first place. Further, he's announced plans to ramp up his trade wars with a worldwide 10 % tariff. This would not only our allies. It would also create a massive price shock for U S consumers. Um, you might, you might not be happy about prices how look so far in the Biden presidency, she said, but given Trump's instincts and past choices, be assured it could be so much worse. Um, yeah, that's, you know, as we said over and over again, inflation has come way down. But again, you know, as our caller said, some people I guess are just going to be immune to facts and figures. Well, we're fighting on both sides that people that were on both sides of our fight are people that expect perfection, which doesn't exist, that this wonderful isolationism where we can produce everything and give everybody health care. Again, the ACA is a toehold on a mountain that we're climbing. It's not the toehold of med perfect for med all that you want. But that doesn't exist because in your vacuum, your candidate doesn't have to be opposed to a GOP Congress that would block everything that you want. If you elect Democrats, we get to Medicare for all we can get at least a public option. I mean, yes, the things that are wrong with our health care because they're not progressive enough. We haven't been able to go far enough, but they're far better than they would be, you know, because you know, I mean, it's a running joke. Another fantastic health care plan in two weeks. We'll be really better. It's gonna be great. You're gonna love it. There's gonna be a health care and there's care gonna for be health. There's gonna be so much caring and health. Yes. Thank you for clearing that up. Forty seven minutes after the hour, this portion of the show brought to you by What's in My Hydrations? You know what, this will be transferred into my spike bottle in mere minutes. Morning kick. That's right. Ow! It is my beverage choice and I keep telling my normal story and I don't care how many times I've told it.

Bloomberg Markets
Fresh update on "wells" discussed on Bloomberg Markets
"Complicating matters. Bloomberg has more from Washington. Republicans want major border policy changes to be tied to this. They say that the border is also a national security issue, the same as Ukraine Israel. and Democrats say, listen, these are two separate issues. Do not tie immigration to foreign aid. These are two separate topics. If you want to have a debate about immigration, then there's got to be a back and forth on immigration policy. Bloomberg government's Jonathan Tomare. The White House has warned that support for Ukraine out before will run the end of the year unless that 61 billion dollar taxes. Global news 24 hours a day and whenever you want it with Bloomberg Now. News All right Nancy Lyons. Thank you so much. We appreciate that. Billy House joins us. Bloomberg News down in Washington DC. Billy, big news coming out of your area of the woods down there. What's the initial feel from the folks down in DC? Well, they were anticipating a potential departure by former speaker Kevin McCarthy for weeks several now but it's official with his documenting that in the Wall Street Journal the column. He says he's leaving at the end of the year and already mixed an already narrow House GOP majority but it's the end of a kind of a I guess era if you want to call McCarthy's tenure that. One thing we haven't discussed is his district. I mean is there any sense that a Democrat could step in there or is this a firmly Republican part of California? Well it's been rated as firmly Republican and it has not gone for a Democratic presidential candidate. It was solidly Trump but it was also a sitting leader of the Republican Party running from that district as well. It's Bakersfield and surrounding area and and it'll so probably stay Republican but of course it could be a lot more competitive than it has been for what 12, 10 years. Hey Billy I don't know this is really speculative but is there any sense what what role McCarthy may now play in the presidential election in terms of support who he would campaign for and how valuable his support would be? Yes well if Trump is the party nominee or the leader of that is even more uncertain because they've had a hot on -again off -again relationship but he does write today in his column that he intends to stay involved in running money and raising money for Republicans and he's been very good at that and would assume that that would include the presidential race so that's all we know at this point he probably will remain active how active he might be for Trump who knows? Yeah that's what I was going to ask actually has his ties to Trump have they dimmed in any significant perspective would we see him potentially go raise money for a Nikki Haley or DeSantis? Well that's a very good question as we remember there was a period in time when Kevin McCarthy was called it was referred to as my Kevin by the former president and there was then there was a falling out then there was a meeting at Mar -a -Lago where they got back together and now McCarthy has expressed to you privately his disappointment in how Trump did not come essentially to his rescue in the Speaker -Ouster fiasco or in his really brief attempt to make a comeback there was no Trump backing then so there's certainly some bad feelings. So Billy any just give us an update I mean your beat is Congress What are our friends in Congress actually doing? What's on their to -do list? What should be watching for? I mean I think my government's still funded but what do they need to get done and when? Right well the government needs to be funded but those questions are just around the corner at the beginning of the year when new shutdown deadlines come up but right now they're focused on trying to get Ukraine radiate aid or deciding whether to do that and of course Republicans in the house say no and Senate are saying no we aren't going to do any of that unless you add border measures here in the US. There's also fights over surveillance renewals, legislation renewals, defense spending renewals so in some ways there's lot a going on and in other ways there's just absolutely nothing going on with all the limbo and standstills. Are any there sense or is there any sense among the members at this point about which potential where we could see compromises on this border security for Ukraine and Israel aid? What are the factors in play that might shift to help get us to a deal? Well so right now the hardliners in both in That's a bill that was passed in the house that is very rigid, beefing up border agents, asylum rules that sort of thing. If there could be a pullback on some of that language there seems there's some democrats who suggested or signaled that they could go along with that. But there's still suspicion also of where is all the Ukraine money going and many republicans say it's not really being accounted for and that's another whole issue. It's really hard to an see agreement coming together before they take off for Christmas. All right Billy thanks so much we appreciate the conversation. A reporter from Bloomberg News helping us break down this news that Representative McCarthy is going to leave the house at the end of the year. Let's bring on Nathan Dean here. He's a senior policy analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. He's also based in Washington DC. You know Nathan everybody or the few folks talked we've to about this news here saying it's not a surprise. What's a surprise to everybody just ensconced up here in New York and we don't know what's going on in DC but this seems like a surprise. What's the feeling that you're getting from a policy perspective about what this might mean? Well you know obviously it's not fun to be the former speaker and have to sit around for the next year and lose all that power power and influence and so maybe this is the opportunistic time to to bow out. From a policy perspective you know a former speaker McCarthy really wasn't playing much in a lot of the bills that we're tracking but I would just note that you know with George Santos leaving and Kevin McCarthy leaving that's only three votes can that Speaker afford Johnson to lose and as we are getting close to this government funding fight in January that's going to be something to take into account. So overall you know I don't think it's much of a catalyst event but for at least from the investor point of view but certainly it's something that we'll be paying attention in January as we get closer to that funding fight. Now Nathan I know you've been paying attention all morning to the news of the day that we thought was going to be the news of the day. The Senate banking committee hearing testimony from some of the CEOs of the largest banks. Has been there anything surprising to you that's come up at this point? So you know this is a fun been a fun hearing to watch because 99 times out of 100 these hearings the CEOs are on the defensive. That's not the case today. They are are going on the offensive when regards to this proposal called the Basel 3 Endgame. Now we haven't really seen much in way the way of surprises from the policy maker perspective. I think some of the folks wanted Senator Tester to air some grievances about the proposal. He actually focused on national security and AML so people didn't really get what they wanted there but I think what this opportunistic or at least what this hearing is is a good opportunity for the big big bank CEOs to get these grievances out in the air.

How Gina Del Carlo Is Redefining Workforce Development With Earn and Learn
"Was at an event the other day at Autodesk and it's a company a lot of us know they're involved in so many things. But as an example, it's hard for a kid to say, I want to grow up and work at Autodesk or Oracle or Cisco, right? Those are companies that are involved in everything, but we don't necessarily know what they do, but they are involved in everything. So it's so important to get the people there and get a perspective. You can and say, right, oh, I want to do light manufacturing or industrial this. Schools tend to teach basic jobs, lawyers, doctors, engineer, which engineer is a pretty broad field. But it's limited. And so to get the perspective of what some of these big companies, medium companies here in the Bay Area do, I think that's a really good benefit of the program. Yes, and many students have no idea about the possibilities of what they could be or what the steps are that are needed to get that type of career. A lot of times when we're in high schools, and I know when I was in high school, it was you go to college. That's just what you do. I didn't know about apprenticeships and I didn't know about job training programs that were hands on that maybe would have been a better fit for me. I wasn't exposed to that, so I didn't know. So we're all about providing all of the choices and paths so that students can choose what brings you joy. And many students don't have certain career exposure to certain careers in their own networks. We know that networked people get more opportunities. And so if you do not have that network, how would you even know? So we're trying to bring our networks to everyone, to every student, because they all deserve it. They all deserve work based learning. Well, I'm looking at my fourth grade daughter, her career day, and I'm excited for her to go through it. But it's all it's all professions with one word, right? Attorney, doctor, teacher, right? It's it's hard to get into some of those more complex, right? Like your job even hardly necessarily explain, oh, I do workforce and data collection and partner schools, right? It's how do you break it down and expose them to this? And I love that concept of what you guys are doing and really opening people's eyes to the possibilities out there. And we're seeing a trend with employers where they aren't requiring a four year degree anymore. Many of them, you see that a lot in tech, where that's not always where they're finding their talent. Now you see that with airlines who have a pilot shortage, many of them are dropping the bachelor degree requirements. And so it's good for people to know that these careers are available to you through a different path

"And so what does it say there? Trump, no more. But what does it actually actually say Well, there? you just have to use a blue Sharpie. Okay. But it, it means yes. But it says She soul. misspelled bull with an S U L L. Yes. She's misspelled bull. It's S U L L. That's why she needed the Sharpie. Oh, it was a fully printed sign. Oh, when you can call, but you can't spell it. Oh, honey. Yeah. Okay. And then there's this guy Lindell. Who is, is John John still alive? We're going to find out the truth. So you think, you think that Mike Lindell is John F Kennedy Jr. Yes, I do. You have a, you have a picture to prove it there. So this is a picture of Mike Lindell and John F Kennedy Jr. And so what's, what's evidence the here? Well, the evidence is we're going to find out that people had to play certain roles to get the truth out to people. So why would John F Kennedy Jr. Fake his own death and then assume the identity The of a hello salesman. Well, we have to ask yourself, what was he running for? He was running for a seat in New York. Who won that seat? Was it Hillary Clinton? So John F Kennedy Jr. Is actually Mike Lindell. We'll find out. Also, F John Kennedy didn't run for a seat, but okay. Um, okay. In this world, Carlos, That guy sounds like he's going to vote for Med for All, by the way. Yeah. Subject Carlos Robert Bobby Kennedy Jr. Yeah. Jesse Waters asked him on Fox News. You weren't ever on Jeffrey Epstein's jet, were you? And he said, I was on Jeffrey Epstein's jets two times. And his wife at the time had a, some kind of relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell. Um, okay. So I don't know whether this helps or hurts him with the Trump face. Yeah. Yeah. And Fox News, I guess, is still having him on, assuming that he will take votes from Biden as well. So I think they're having him on because of that. Right. And absolutely. That's why he won't attacked up. He's a gutless coward, another coward. He knows that Trump is evil and is afraid to attack him. I would not, if I wouldn't let him be my babysitter. I would just go, no, obviously this guy has no guts. He has no principles. He's afraid to attack what's clearly evil. He has no guts at all. I'd be like Clint Howard in parenthood. That's how you know that, you know, the right wing still thinks he will pull some votes from Biden. Fox wasn't taught no, it's not still be, they would destroy him over that. He was on Epstein's jet and admitting it on Fox news. If they thought, you know, he was going to Trump hurt more. The first thing, and I've always said this since day one, the first thing they would go after and wrongly so is his voice. You could see Sean Hannity go, there's gotta wrong. I mean, listen to this guy. Oh God, he's sick. Yeah, he's sick and he could die any day. They be ruthless with him. They would be ruthless in Cornell West. They would be ruthless. They hope Biden's poll numbers, you know why Biden's poll numbers aren't fantastic? Six years of being attacked constantly by the right media, right wing radio, Trump. You think Stein or Cornell West would last half a day with them? Half a day they'd be gone. Yep.

The Mason Minute
Authentic (MM #4640)
"The Mason Minute with Kevin Mason. Last week, Merriam -Webster dictionaries released their annual Word of the Year. What surprised everybody this year is they expected deep fake or AI or something like that. And the word of this year was actually authentic. It kind of shocked people because we're talking about a world that's less authentic all the time. Sure, a lot of it plays into AI with artificial intelligence and taking away authenticity, but celebrity culture, social media is all about being authentic. Well, sadly it's not, but people are talking about it becoming more authentic. There have been social media sites like Be Real that kind of popped up over the last couple of years. That was all about being authentic. They didn't want you to glamorize your life. They wanted you to show real life, your authentic life. It's interesting they picked authentic because a lot of people aren't thinking the world's filled with authentic anything these days and in a world where AI and deep fakes are going to become more and more prevalent in society, authenticity is going to be pushed to the wayside. Let's hope not. Authentic. It's an important word. I think that's perhaps why they picked it this year.

Food Addiction, the Problem and the Solution
Overcoming Diet Struggles to Find Freedom With Tony W.
"No the scale for those of us who have been through a lot of diets losing weight gaining weight still to me this day I have trouble with the scale but I weigh myself once a week religiously on Friday mornings and I have a range I need to stay in my body is going to hold water sometimes and not others but as long as I stay in that range but if you eat pretty much the same amounts every day your weight shouldn't go up or down unless you know you need to take food out or have food put back in which is I work with a nutritionist and she helps me with that and she's I still get you know have this feeling like I don't want to step on the scale or I get excited when my weight's down I get upset when my weight's up so it's it's a it's a thing you know so I understand not weighing yourself but um it's interesting you got sober from drugs and alcohol with a 12 -step program you were abstinent happy thin and free with Susan's program so you use a 12 -step program to get sober and then you work Susan's program on on the food recovery so it's and it's not a 12 -step program what what would you say about that well actually as it happens there's a lot of things that in Bright Line Eating are official you know there's it's a commercial it's a for -profit company you know and so there are a lot of things that there's a paid membership for a lot of things but I will say this I need to say this about Susan because people criticize her for some things for monetizing this or whatever and here's the thing she put the program in her book which I got from the library by the way and I wasn't even I wasn't a part of the paid membership for some time and I was just doing it out of the book and she the maintenance part which is which is the whole deal is in the book plus she has a bunch of free YouTube videos a ton of free YouTube videos it's definitely not a 12 -step program absolutely not it is so that said there are a ton of people who have 20 30 40 years of sobriety in in other 12 -step programs and into other programs and so what a lot of us that's what I was my point I was making was there's a lot of official parts of BLE and then there's some unofficial parts they have mastermind groups which are not really you know they don't they suggest those but they don't monitor them or anything and there's other parts of like that well so what is sprung up over the last few years are hybrids of BLE 12 -step meetings that are meet on on zoom we've been doing it for three or four years now and those have been extremely helpful because not everybody in Bright Line Eating is during 12 -step meetings but then there are a lot of us and for a lot of us they do go for me it's not hand in hand there is a tension because of the things we talked about about the you know but in terms of you know the bottom line it isn't just about as I said earlier it's not just about the force the four bright lines it's also about getting to the the reasons why we're doing this in the first place it's doing the inner work that's why they fit the hand and gloved in some respects
Food Addiction, the Problem and the Solution
Weight Gain and African American Food Culture: Tony W. Reflects on His Journey
"So tell me about what happened when you really first realized that, you know, if your weight went up to 464, 381 when you got into BLE, I mean, you started, you were using food, you weighed a lot more than your body was supposed to weigh. So when did you really see that happening? Well, I first started putting on weight when I was a teenager. I worked at Baskin -Robbins and they allowed you to eat anything you wanted while you were working there, which was, you know, and I was smoking weed at the time. So, you know, put those together and guess what, you know, just like a balloon, I just, you know, and so, but it really was the whole fast food culture that we live in. That's the way I ate. And growing up, I should mention growing up, my mom was a great cook, but then we had five, I had four brothers and, you know, on Sundays, we had a big dinner after church and it was, you know, it's fried chicken, it's macaroni and cheese, collard greens, rolls. I mean, and my dad's plate would look like, you know, the Devil's Tower of Wyoming in Close Encounters, I mean, where they had that big, huge mound and that's where I learned, you know, that's what you do, you, you know, you just grub out, pig out and it's not frowned upon. But anyway, so I was able, as a child, I was able to, like you say, I was active and so I was able to keep my weight down. Once I became late teens, they really started to catch up to me. But it really wasn't until later on is when I was an adult that I really started to have a, you know, I started putting on serious, you know, hundreds of pounds overweight. Yeah, you're, I'll tell the listeners, you are an African American man and you've talked about the culture in the African American community around food, right? Right, right, absolutely. So you have so many fried foods and those kinds of things and it's really horrible when you think about it because the, and this is not just to African Americans, that other people have food in their cultures that are part of their, it's a part of your culture, it's a part of who you are and you're expected to partake in it and yet it's the thing that was killing me. It's the thing that was killing me. Talk about your health problems that happened when you were 464, 381. When you first began BLE, what kind of health problems did you have associated with the obesity? Well, for a number of years I was fine, you know, and then I remember I was at a concert and I had to keep going to the bathroom and I was really thirsty and I knew what that meant because my mom had diabetes and so that was really the first time I had any kind of health problem and then it kind of spiraled and this is this is at my highest weight around about 464 pounds and so I started to have neuropathy in my feet. I started to have, you know, the joint pain high cholesterol, you know, the shot. It was just everything. It was just a big spiral. Then I started to have hernias. I had five hernia surgeries in one year. I mean, I was contemplating the gastric bypass at one point but I opted not to do that, which I'm thankful for now, you know, but it really was a thing of me gradually gaining weight and then getting to the point where there were so many things that I saw were going to happen that if I didn't take some action and then a friend of mine, a friend of mine who was younger than me and weighed less than me had a stroke and I saw then I had a moment of clarity then that's going to be me.
Food Addiction, the Problem and the Solution
Tony W. Bravely Shares His Story of Addiction
"Today on the podcast we welcome Tony W. a food addict in recovery. Welcome Tony. Tony W. Thank you so much Susan. Great to be here. Esther Helga Yeah, it's great to have you here. I'm going to introduce you and then we'll get into some questions. Tony W. is a food addict in a food recovery program whose weight reached as high as 464 pounds. Today after getting into the Bright Line Eating Program, Susan Pierce Thompson's program in May of 2019 after he read her book when his weight was 381, in one year he released 150 pounds on the Bright Line Eating Program, BLE. Susan Pierce Thompson has written several books. I've read two and we hosted her on the podcast and that podcast will have come out before Tony's. She has another book coming out in October which is a daily inspirational book so look for that and we'll put in our notes the links to these books and Susan's website. The ones I read are called Bright Line Eating, The Science of Living Happy, Thin and Free and her most recent one is Resume, The Powerful Frame, The Powerful Reframe to End the Crash and Burn Cycle of Food Addiction. Tony read the Bright Line Eating book and it has changed his life. So welcome again Tony. Tony W. Thank you so much. I read about you in Susan Pierce Thompson's book and she recommended you as a guest on the podcast. I have read your blogs and watched your interview on Facebook with Susan and you and I had a pre podcast session and really looking forward to having you share your story of struggles with food and food addiction and how you recovered and what life is like now. So let's start. I'd like to hear your story. I know a little bit about it but I'd like you to tell the listeners you're like me you've had some past issues with other addictions, alcohol in my case and you had alcohol and drugs. Talk about the time in your life when you got clean and sober and then you were also like me you replaced alcohol and drugs with going to food. Tony W. Right. So my story is that I always felt different even as a child, was bullied and then what I found out actually much later you know a lot of people in 12 step recovery programs for alcohol and drugs probably started a lot younger than I did but I didn't start till I was a junior in high school and what I found was it made me feel normal for the first time and able to fit in and be a part of and it worked for a while until it didn't. So I didn't really, the food part of it for me is something that's maybe unlike a lot of other food addicts in that I was a skinny kid growing up. I wasn't really heavy or overweight so eventually though it caught up to me. Yeah, I was a skinny kid too. It really wasn't until I was 14, 15 that I started to gain weight and using food. I used food as a kid but I was active enough that my weight was normal. So tell me about the alcohol, drug addiction in your life and getting clean and sober. Tony W. Yeah, well it started out as partying on the weekends and hanging out with friends and pretty soon though it became how I dealt with life, how I felt normal. It started out with alcohol, then I was bringing vodka to school in 11th grade and then at lunchtime I would go across the street and get some orange juice and have a screwdriver in 5th period and I'm like, don't all 17 year olds do this? No, they don't actually. But it led to other drugs and actually the reason I started doing drugs because for a tall big guy I could not hold my liquor and so I started doing drugs that allowed me to drink more and it wasn't a good idea. That led to a lot of problems in my life and it really only came to a head when I realized I was in trouble and I needed help and when I went to my first 12 step program for alcohol was in 1991.

Hamas Holds Women and Michelle Obama Stays Silent
"Say today are these women hostages who were supposed to be released well it's what I feared cut 23 go when you look at all the atrocities that Hamas carried out on October 7th atrocities and the that they have carried out since the fact that they continue to hold women hostages the fact that they continue to hold children hostages the fact that it seems one of the reasons they don't want to turn women over that they've been holding and the reason this pause fell apart is they don't want those women to be able to talk about what happened to them certainly there is very little that I would put beyond Hamas when it comes to its treatment of civilians and particularly its treatment of women. An official with the Israeli government said where's Michelle Obama on this and he also said he's reached out to her they have multiple times and she ignores them. Remember Barack Obama waited aided to put out a statement after the monstrous atrocities on October and he put out a very strange statement and then remember when he put out another statement that caused many of us to puke figuratively including Sergeant Alan Dershowitz when he gave the Hamas line about occupied territory. And now Michelle Obama doesn't speak out? And people say you know Michelle Obama she could be the real Democrat presidential candidate. Really? Notice how the media say almost nothing about Michelle Obama? Where's me too? Ladies and gentlemen I've been telling you I posted to this effect I spoke in the first hour of this. To many people particularly the Marxists who have a home a very comfortable home in the Democrat Party and in the media Jewish lives don't matter. Oh they'll say what happened on October 7th like Jayapal what happened was horrendous I already spoke out against that. You know I did my part. I put the little preface in there now I can say anything I want about Israel and the Jews and Netanyahu and all the liberal Democrats even some of whom are Jewish clearly the same thing what I call self hating Jews and I've explained that in tremendous detail Jews who view themselves as both an ethnicity and people of faith and others who just view themselves as an ethnicity and be nothing in common with with the Jews of faith like Orthodox Jews but I'm not going to get into that for the 50th time. So now we have the United States State Department that doesn't believe it knows that the young women the teenage girls maybe even younger are not being released because they've been savagely and repeatedly raped and many of them have been murdered you

"You have five five kids Two three live with you and two are in the state over Yes, so what what happened with your first wife with? However that fell out Well, we moved to North Dakota. I grew up in a place called Ontario, Oregon. Yep, and Ontario is Well when I was growing up it had about Three to four thousand people maybe oh wow, and they had the number one violent crime and drug use stats in the state of Oregon The way it was explained to me by the police was if Ontario was the size of Portland There would be three times the violent crime that Portland sees she's It is bad. My sister was shot in the back when we were kids. I had friends get stabbed My buddy Sean had to carry his intestines to the hospital because he got a stomach laid open. That is crazy I never would think that yeah, same and people don't talk about it because like you don't hear about it on the news and right because it that shit happens in small towns all the time and It's just so unheard of that most of the time. They don't tell people outside of the town Wow for a long time Ontario was just Still is to a certain extent. It's just a really garbage place to be with all the drug use and So many my friends OD'd and so many people I knew got I had a buddy that I've known since we were both like infants and He ended up getting HIV from chair needles. He got really bad into heroin and stuff like that. It was just It was everywhere. So we decided to leave she had some family up in North Dakota. So we went to Minot, North Dakota and I was working. It's About an hour from the Canadian border and it's freakishly cold there and it's expensive to live and so I was working all the time, I mean When everything fell apart, I was doing 16 16s with four days off in between And I've been a chef. I should probably start there. I've spent my professional career as a chef Oh nice since I was about 16, and um, so I was cooking all the time always at work and I don't know something gave my wife decided to start talking to a guy from back home and Of course, I wasn't aware of it her sister had a kid and she decided that Her and my sons were gonna go back here to Oregon to meet her new niece so they could meet their cousin and everything I thought that was a wonderful idea. I'm working all the time anyway, so that'd be great little thing for them to do So I paid for the Amtrak tickets and I got him on the train and got him back over here to Oregon so she could go to her sister's and then About three days into that I woke up to a text message and I was apparently getting a divorce No and I'm like you you took my kids halfway across the country to leave me and Like then I didn't hear anything from her for like a week. So she already had it planned out. I'm up Yeah, and I'm up there with her family. Wow, so I got nothing and um So I tried to get a hold of my mom because that's where she was supposed to be staying at I tried to get a hold of her sister and she was telling her sister that she was staying at my mom's house and telling My mom that she was staying at her sister's house And she had my kids over at this dude's house who I find out when I figured out who it was, he was a childhood friend of mine and Yeah, it was I Couldn't focus on my work. Of course tried really hard I tried really hard to just do my job and I thought you know I can Logic my way out of this. Yeah I was burning myself on the grill. I was messing up orders that I never messed up before and So I told my boss like look I'm not here man. I'm just not I'm not here. So there's no point in me being here I told her what was going on and To the credit of the company. I won't mention their name, but they are the largest restaurant group on the face of the planet She told me to go and try to fix my marriage And so I was able to leave they held my job for me for five months That's really good, especially because me and my wife own two restaurants back here, but to have a big big company like that Care about their employees like the way they do. I mean to hold your job for five months as especially a chef. That's great Yeah, I never would have seen it coming. I like it was amazing and then what it came down to was chase the money or be close to my kids and in the moment I Couldn't see a better option than being as close to my kids as possible. So I never ended up going back. Yep, and You know to my detriment or maybe not it's a matter of perspective I suppose but um, I Know that if I'd gone back, I wouldn't have my later three children. So I'm happy that I didn't and so she kept my kids from me and The whole parental alienation thing in the state of Oregon You don't have to verify that you served anybody any kind of paperwork in terms of divorce and stuff like that All you have to do is have a third party say that they did it No friend of hers. Sorry. Yeah she had a friend of her say that I was served paperwork, which I never got and So she went to court and took my kids and I never knew there was anything so of course Right, right because you didn't even know that there was a court case or anything like that Jesus yeah, so I moved from Ontario to the next Decent town over where I currently have lived for the last like six or seven years Got a new job and found out I was already $1 ,500 in the hole on child support on the back or Well, yeah, cuz like right I didn't know that I had for child support or that I lost custody of my kids or anything Yeah, and then the state throws all this at me and I'm like, how is this possible and they say Well, you got paperwork you you got paper and I was like, no I didn't I never got anything and they're like Well, she did this and this and had one of her friends say that I mean they gave me all the information to explain What happened? Yeah Well, I can't prove that she's lying. So there's just nothing to be done I have to come up with the money for a lawyer and go back to court and pay for And by the time I Was in any position financially or in terms of stability to do that Years had gone by

LJ's Journey to Fatherhood: "People Don't Give Dads Credit at All"
"I'm LJ you can find me all over the internet as the stone philosopher or I'm on Twitter. Dr. Lib slips PhD MD. I like to sling some shit around the internet. It's always fun I've been a single dad. Well, I've been a dad since I was 18 years old and I turned 33 in December I've been a single dad for about since February of this year and Taking care of three of my five kids going to university and working and Trying to make my way in this crazy world. And one of the things that I picked up the fastest is People don't give dads any credit at all. Like there's no built -in credit to being a dad It's like if you do basic stuff as a mother people praise you. You're so wonderful. You're so awesome I know because I participate in that I glorify mothers to no end I was raised by a single mother, but they got nothing for there's nothing in the tank for dads You're just expected like you do Go to work for 60 80 hours a week and taking care of your kids and they're just like yeah You're supposed to do right and I get it because I feel the obligation but like come on, dude Give me a little bit more. Yeah. How was it having kids at 18? I mean, that's that's very young I always knew I was gonna have children and I Just didn't think about it and I think that's a lot of the issue that a lot of people deal with these days is like It didn't occur to me as a negative in any way. It didn't My girlfriend at the time who later became my first wife When she told me she was pregnant with my son She asked me what are you gonna do and I said, well, I'm gonna get a job, right, right? They're providing, you know, yeah, right I got a kid now, so there's like obvious solutions to some extent and then you know The awkward conversations with her parents and I had to tell my mother and tell my dad I think I had a fairly unique experience in that regard because I Wasn't a great kid So the fact that I made it my see so my oldest son was born My birthday's December 5th, my oldest son was born the March following my 18th birthday So I made it farther than anyone thought I would by that point anyway So I think to that extent I had already been extended a little credit. It's strange because I wonder sometimes If I'd be different if I was able to have been adult for a while without being a dad. Yeah, but then when I think about it, though, I Was hell on wheels man, I don't know that I'd still be alive if I wasn't right it kind of slowed you down Helped you might have helped. Yeah
History That Doesn't Suck
148: Tales of Christmas from World War I (A Truce, Plum Pudding, and Love) - burst 1
"It's a cold early morning, December 24th, 1914. We're in Belgium's western region known as Flanders, not far from the town of Ypres in the Plugsdert Wood, or Plug Street Wood, as the men of the London Rifle Brigade put it. These lads are holding a deep trench that tears through these thinly forested, grayish -green rolling hills. And right now, as those who slept last night start to wake up, they breathe deeply. It's such a fresh air. A Christmas air. Well, maybe it's just that the biting cold and recent snow have chased off the trench's usual chloride and lime odor. But no matter. As rifleman Bernard Brooks peers over the top at the fresh white snow, masking the grotesque reality of that barren no man's land before him, he sees what he calls a Christmas card Christmas Eve.

"I thought she had a chance. And I do here, but I think she'll eventually probably run into somebody because there are so many of them and also we don't know what last week might have taken out of it. I definitely think it is somebody who can get to the second week of grand slams more than once this year. I think a quarterfinal in fact, I think she, I think she could reach a semifinal this year of Grand Slam. And I think she could reach the semifinal here. She could reach the final. Don't think she'll win it. Yeah, I think that's fair. But well done, Pam. Yeah, and sorry, Pam. For writing you are. Pam will be texting. We woke up to a Texas morning from Pam saying, where's the podcast? I mean, Pam was a bit concerned when I picked donovic to win the title on day one. Of Monterey. And she knows your reputation. Yeah, she knows how to represent and I said, I'm sticking with it, I don't care what you think. Yeah. She wants Reggie to stay well clear. Marty kostick won the Austin title on Sunday. That is her first title, actually she's still only 20 6. I was thinking, gosh, I haven't won a title before, and then was reminded that she's only twins. She was doing things when she was 15. That's crazy. And she's the first Ukrainian to win a title since the start of the war, so pretty incredible and pretty emotional. These scenes from artist cost jerk in Austin, so well done her. And with tennis being the way it is, we're talking about a title she won a few days ago. She lost today. And Indian Wells. The turnaround is so quick there. And so hard to adjust and keep it going, and yeah. And it was it was an uncomfortable trophy ceremony because she was playing a Russian player. There was no handshake between the two of them. There was no mention of each other in the speeches and I completely understand that personally, but it was uncomfortable as well. You know, it's just, it was just a little tennis snapshot of the world today. Yeah, absolutely. Some more bits and bobs of housekeeping, including the big one, folks, the one that I trailed earlier on in the podcast. Here we go. As you know, the tennis podcast is sponsored by on location who've brought us out here to Indian Wells to sample the delights of one of Steve fogel's international tennis stores packages.

"Yeah, I really like this press conference from Fritz. He's a slightly, he's a slight contrast, always think Fritz. I think he has a lot of self confidence, not belief in himself. But I always find him quite he's quite shy, I think. He's quite shy and press conferences. I thought he was quite shy at the Eisenhower trophy cup. One of the two yeah, one of them is the one's fire. Murray. I felt like he was quite shy there as well. And sabalenka was bringing out some personality, but he was quite happy just sort of raining it in a little bit. Anyway, but he does, there's a lot of belief in his own game, I think, and he laid out his goals for the year, which was to finish the season in the top 5 and reach a final at least of a slam. Which, you know, a big goals and ones that I do believe he's capable of, but he knows that he needs to start performing in slams because he hasn't been showing up in those events. But I think the most the most revealing part of the press conference was everything he had to say about Acapulco and the sort of trauma that he went through there. Horror, really. Matt Roberts made him revisit it. Yes, I made him recount in detail, his full body cramps. Well, I didn't make him. He was not he offered it up. Not shy about telling us exactly what that's like. And it was horrendous. Yeah. Couldn't keep any food down, kept throwing up, body cramps, full body cramps throughout the night. Four hours. For several hours. He needed to tune out now if you're eating, but he needed to rehydrate, but then every time he said he couldn't go on an IV because of anti doping rules restricted that. Now, I need to look into that whether it can't be as simple as you can't have an IV, but anyway, obviously in this instance, he felt he couldn't have an IV. So he needed to take fluids on board to hydrate himself, but he couldn't keep them down, so he'd been just a vicious cycle for what would he say three four hours? Yeah. And you were trying to ask him, I think, Catherine, whether he regretted it at all, regretted not withdrawing, not quitting the match, given what it ended up being like. And he said he's only ever done that once, and that was in Washington when he said I was seeing double. This gets down Evans, was it? Yeah, and Dan Evans was a badge of honor that he outlasted. Taylor Fritz, he loved that match. And Fritz said that he made a promise to his team that if he ever felt like that again, he would withdraw. And that was when he felt like that again, so he did pull out. He didn't say that he had made any promises to his team that if he gets full body cramps, he will be pulling out retiring. His line, I think, is such that he just feels like he needs to give everything. And you'll have to carry me off. Literally. And that is such an, you know, we've talked about it in the last couple of weeks. That is section interesting framing, whether that's a good or bad thing. And I just think stubbornness generally is an interesting trait in sport. It can be, it can be a huge positive, and it is for him because his competitive instincts and he probably makes more of his game than what it is, really, because of what a great competitor he is. But at the same time, it can cost you. And he said he doesn't think that the Acapulco experience is going to cost him here. He does feel fully recovered and he's fine. But it could. If you push yourself too far, it can have lasting implications. Yeah. Look out for yourself, Taylor. That's it for your immediate day roundup. We do have a few other things to round up for you though, including the results that we promise to bring you from Sunday's finals that we weren't able to cover in Sunday's podcast, including victory for Donna vekic. And David lore. I was going to say it, David, you didn't even give me. I thought you were going to go with Pam before yourself. Only points so good. Heck of a win. Yeah, Donna. And Pam and David. Yeah. It was a fantastic performance. And brilliant final too. Oh, and I've been meaning to ask you this whole time, David, did you watch the final live? Because you promised to go to bed. And I think texting is, if you want. You went quiet, quite early on Sunday Night. Yeah, because basically my plane was taking off at 6 25 a.m., which meant a 3 a.m. alarm call, and the final was due to take place at an 11 p.m. star. Yeah, 11 p.m.. So I finished my packing at about ten 40. Let's say that around that. And I'm about to go to bed, and I'd been watching something that evening, I can't remember what it was. The golf, I'd been watching the golf, that was it. And the golf finished or at least got to a point where I know who's going to win, so okay. And then I just sort of, I just want to see if they're on court yet. And so I watched the knock up, and then I got ready for bed and I was and then I thought I'll keep it on while I'm just getting ready for bed. I just watched the first set. So I watched the first set, and then I went to sleep, right? And then I'd set my thought, if I sit my alarm clock, half an hour early, and just press pause now on the app. We are such different people. I'll just be able to pick it up while I'm getting ready to get in my last getting my breakfast and getting everything ready. And I did. The numbers don't add up here. The gap between going to sleep and setting the alarm isn't long enough to get to school. No, I had four hours sleep, right? I had four sleep, and then what and the problem was, Donna vekic, playing brilliantly, wins the first set, and then goes to love up in the second. So I'm thinking, oh, this is easy. I'll easily get this in before the taxicabs. And then the comeback started and Caroline Garcia got 5 games in a row. She played amazing stuff. This really was a superb final. And then the third set was just classic championship match, final set stuff, where both players are pushing each other to the absolute limit. Garcia was the better player for much of that deciding set. I mean, I did feel like vekic was the better player on the whole overall over the course of the match, but she was getting the chances cars here in the design is set, but vec is just would not let her have it and she has I mean, I think it was power move really drew my attention to the capability of vicious serve. I don't think I'd ever really grasped how potent that serve is when it works. And she was just no matter how many break points she faced down. She was just able to see them off with a good first server or a good combination. And this grit there as well. She just showed such heart and stayed with Garcia until that 12th game and then broke. It was a brilliant brilliant match. Do you give her a chance here, Becky? I would say no. I just think there are so many good players playing at the probably at the top of the games. There are better players in this drawer than non a wreckage. Yugoslavia, arena sabalenka, bob or a critique of it. I'm not exactly sure what wreckage is drawn. Third round. I mean, look, I think she's capable of beating sabalenka. I mean, she's beaten as several times before when we came to that match in the Australian open eye.

"Apathy about this and frankly I think ignorance about the landscape and the issues at play and I think part of it is lack of education. I do, I mean Billie Jean King says there should be a rookie school, there should be a rookie school. They should learn their history. I also think a big part of it is perhaps the defensiveness and a protectiveness of the WTA, because I know that the WCA largely responsible for the prize money that they offer, but I don't hold the WTA responsible for not being able to offer more prize money. That's such a narrow way of looking at it. Obviously, the WTA want to be able to offer more prize money and equal prize money. They are not in a position to do that because of the patriarchy because we do not value women's tennis as a whole as a society, the way that we've only men's tennis and we blooming well ought to. And there needs to be an intervention basically in order to equalize things from the men's side. You'd have to say the way Andrea gaudenzi has spoken over the last year is encouraging in that regard in that he has stated a desire for men's and women's tennis to stick together. And if they are, the more they do, certainly, the more often we see equal prize money between the two. I mean, I do think that it's also at a time where the WTO announced this venture capitalism venture capital firm investing in the sport. Yeah, a story that's been rumored and rumbling on behind the scenes for a little while now became official yesterday private equity fund CVC Capital Partners will be the women's tennis association's commercial partner and they will invest in the sport taking a minor stake in the WTA financial details not revealed officially but Sky News reporting that CVC would own a 20% stake in the WTA for a $150 million worth of investment with the firms to establish a new company to oversee broadcasting and

"But there are certain players who can always just exploit her weaknesses and one of the big problems is that the main one is the world number one and the English film tech whenever she plays golf has such a comfort level in that match up and as you said without sort of big changes, I don't really see how Goff turns that head to head round. No, I mean, to be honest, it has a bit of a feel of federal erotic, or something like that. What is it, I don't know how many it is now, but they've never had a close match. I don't think. It's 5 or 6, I think. Yeah, they've been very one sided. But and just the other thing on that came out of golf's press conference that caught my attention was the point made by one of the journalists asking the question that an American woman hasn't won here since 2001. And obviously a large reason of that is because of the boycott that Serena and Venus didn't play this event for so long, but you know we had Taylor Fritz winning last year on the men's side and you know I feel like I feel like Indian Wells sort of should have homegrown champions in a way. That is such a long, long drought and the long, the huge number of great American female players that there are at the moment, you know, it would be pretty amazing if golf could win this tournament. I think that would be a really big deal. The other two women that we spoke to impressed today were Maria thackeray, I went to her press conference after about the Netflix episode that she appeared in which obviously focused on her run to the final at this tournament last year and in particular about her the vulnerability that she laid bare in that episode and the fact that a lot of tennis players just aren't prepared to talk about those vulnerabilities because they think it could harm them on the match court that it sort of handing in advantage to an opponent and she said I just didn't want to do it that way. You said if I was going to say yes to being in this thing then fill honesty was the only way to do it, which I which I really respect, but she did talk about how it's funny in terms of results and her game, I don't see much difference in emery as this year to last year. I'm sort of thinking of her in quite a similar way, but she sees herself in a very different place mentally this year to last year. I think it's possible that most of last year was a hangover from the match point squandered at the French Open in that semifinal in 2021. Was 21, wasn't it? Oh, the pandemic years. What a blur. And of course, that's something that she talked about a lot in that Netflix episode, isn't it? How does it three night? She didn't sleep for. I mean, well, you can tell us what that's like. That sounds like. David's like, only three. Horror story. I've had those days. No, I do. I do wonder what would happen with Maria Zachary if she could fully conquer her mental fragilities and anxiety and the way she kind of comes apart at the seams when she gets too uptight. And I look, it's the most human normal natural thing in the world to feel those nerves. But if she could find a way to harness everything, she's got. I still think there's a better player in there than we've seen so far. So I don't know. And I want it for her because it matters so much to her. You know, when you hear Maria thackeray talk about tennis, you're looking at somebody who's in love with the sport. And he was in love with the idea of being the best. And so far, as good a career as she's had, and she's had a really good career. It isn't what she wants yet. And so I kind of hope she gets that because nobody would love it more than she would. Maybe arena sibling. Yeah, I mean, there are look, there are loads of players that that's the new bar. I do love the appetite that a lot of these players have for it, but with Zachary, she puts me a little bit on edge the way that sometimes maybe she found tech does. It's just this feeling that she wants it too much. She's so desperate for it. She then can't control it. In those in those moments, given the type of personality she is. But be very interesting to see whether she has on locked something. Anything interesting in Zachary's drawl, Matt? Well, she's in the bottom half, so she's in with quick cheek of a pagola sabalenka. So she's avoided shrimp tech. Modern players. Everyone else. I was trying to put a positive spin on her drawer. Right. In the same half, no. She's avoided gibber, although I don't know how much of an avoid that is. I mean, the main question I wanted answered from your press conference, whether she's fit or not. Beyond so I felt like we got was fit, but not match fit. The injuries healed, but she's very undercooked in terms of practice and training and matches. Yeah. And she sort of said that she slightly accelerates her comeback. Like, ideally, I don't think she would be playing now, but it's Indian well. You have to start somewhere. Let's do it. I'm fit, but as you said, match fit is maybe a different thing. I didn't leave that press conference thinking on shiba was ready, really. Yeah, same. I didn't leave sort of worried that she was going to do herself further harm by playing here. But I did sort of think, depending on the draw, she could be there for the taking. I don't know who might take that taking. Well, as a ranker, is a potential fourth round opponent. Well, she loves it in Indian Wells. Absolutely. And by the way, starts again, shall we Rogers, who was a winner today on that stadium. That's not easy. But by the way, we just watching the Alicia parks having got very heavily defeated by tough one. That was not a good watch really. It's a tough watch. Having gone through quite a rigmarole in order to have that watch. 48 hours worth of attempting to get the tennis on the telly. Anyway. We finally cracked it. Have you noticed that the differential in temperature at this place, depending on what time of day it is.

"Well, I think we spoke, didn't we? When she did lose that final two quick cheek of her in Dubai, the fact that they didn't seem to be a lot of resistance. And we did sort of speculate ourselves whether the fact that she's having these slightly well completely one sided matches is actually then maybe harming her when she's up against an opponent who is sort of matching her level. So I wasn't quite sure how to frame that question and then she sort of gave me the words by using the phrase too easy. So I just sort of asked her whether actually she feels like she needs some three set wins, toughing it out, whether there's actually sort of more value to her in those sorts of wins than just thrashing everyone. And she pretty much said yes and that is what she's expecting from this tournament. She's got she's got a tough draw I think Bianca andreescu is a potential second opponent for her, had admire who's beaten her before. And I think she feels ready now to sort of play some of those matches and I think she thinks that that will stand her in good stead because she knows that her level when she's at her absolute best is better than everyone else's. But we say it a lot, winning when you're not at your best is such a skill and she also said that she's got a long memory and she can remember last year she did that several times. She just needs to sort of get that feeling back again this year and yeah, again, even similarly with sabalenka I have no doubt that she found tech we'll find that. There was an incredible humble brag from her. She was talking about the conditions I think in Indian Wells, wasn't she? And she said, it's going to be hard to break every game here. Actually, I do like kind of lack of modesty about some of this stuff. And she doesn't do it in a way that is in any way offensive and it's always, I feel quite affectionate towards her when I hear it, because it's a bit like Federer used to do. They say these things which they don't realize, they're not normal things. You know, you're going and just destroying everybody. And being immaculate is not normal, but to you it is because that's how good she is and that's how much in a rush here. She wants everything now, and she she just goes after it. And the thing is, I actually believe that she will benefit sometimes from these longer matches. And yet she's got this ruthlessness when she's out on the court. She's not never ever trying to lengthen a match. She wants to just curtail it and she's quite happy to beat you love and love. And she did mention that I think after Doha before Dubai throughout Dubai. She actually wasn't feeling that well and it was actually beneficial to her that she was playing short matches because that was sort of helpful for the condition she was in. And maybe that was a factor again in that final against quick cheek of a wasn't quite able to play her best. Sounds like she's feeling better now. And yeah, I just think I just think watch out. When would that match happen if she were to play critique of her again? I'd be very happy with that as a final again. And equally, I'd like to see her play sabalenka, but of course that's only that's the only possible that's a fine other as well. So we can't get them both. Alas. Be quite happy to see us have critique of a match along the way. We're not asking for much. It was interesting there was a Polish journalist in obviously enchanted press, but he was there in all the other women's press conferences as well. And he was, he was asking each player of English film text attributes with the steel if they had the chance. And some of them didn't really like the question or tried to sort of be a bit vague about it and others. It was almost like she thinks about it all the time. It was almost like she had the arm to prepared. She, without skipping a beat, said, oh, her movement. Give it to me now. She said, pretty much. It was almost as if imagine me with her move. Imagine how good that would be. Coco Goff, I asked her a question about Yugoslavia, which sort of on reflection overshadow phrased a bit differently, but I was trying to get a feel for how much in everybody's heads I suppose eager to be kind of in particular cocoa gough's head because she doesn't seem to be getting any closer in these matches against eager sponsor. And Luke does mostly because he goes and take is so bloody good and coco Goff is only 19 and you know, I afford to every bit of. Space because of all those factors, but that is just a fact she's not getting any closer in these matches. I don't think, again, siege is one take. I don't feel like there's learnings that she's she's building on. And it must be in her head a little bit and she was very eager to make the point almost sort of trying to convince herself eager to take is not on a pedestal. I have to not put her on a pedestal. She's just a player. She's just a human being. If I keep saying that over and over, then she won't get in my head, but how can she not be in her head and in everyone's head? I do think with cocoa Goths that there is a self belief that if she keeps on working as hard as she can, that she has enough room for improvement, particularly with the one or two clear areas of weakness that she thinks she can catch anybody. And I think that that's actually a very healthy thing. I think it is more that than her trying to talk herself out of an inferiority complex. I think she just feels she's such a work in progress. And I think to some degree she is too. I mean, she's so young. She's got an incredible attitude. I just think that her weakness, particularly on the forehand, is so glaring that I'm not sure it ever will be. Possible to build a foolproof enough stroke on that side to withstand what she and tech does. I think there's a real question mark there over whether it is even possible. Yeah, it was quite interesting because you asked today about conditions obviously always a talking point here in Indian Wells as you mentioned Catherine and it's funny because I never really think about conditions with coco golf because she's kind of had success on clay on grass on hard court. It's more match ups, isn't it? That you suddenly think, oh, that's a bit problematic for golf. That they could exploit those weaknesses. I think she can probably play her game.

"Hello Matt. Hello. Making his Indian Wells debut. How does it feel? It feels amazing. Yes, I think when you were in tennis or watch tennis, you constantly get told how amazing Indian Wells is and you come here for the first time and you realize that everything everyone says is true and yet at the same time they're also probably words can't really do it justice. You need to see it for yourself. I am I'm in awe at the physical beauty of this place. Yeah, and there will be a lot more on the amazingness of Indian Wells to come. David's here, hello, David David, is making his Indian Wells return. Don't call it a comeback. I'm calling it a comeback. And this time he's got gray hair. 15 years since I was here, and I mean, yeah, trying to explain to my lovely wife how lovely it is when she's in the snow in England at the moment is not easy. And best avoided. Yeah, over the course of the last 24 hours, I sent a sequence of three. What I thought were lovely photos of the three of us sampling the delights of Indian Wells in the sunshine to my family WhatsApp group. And after three of these photos without reply, I then sent a sassy follow-up saying, that's quite a lot of smog photos now without reply. And I just got back from my brother. My fingers are too cold to type. And that's, that's why we've left things hanging on the Whitaker WhatsApp group. So sorry to our listeners and to my family for being quite so quite so pleased with ourselves about where we find ourselves thanks to one location that have brought us here. As a podcast for the very first time, to sample the delights that this tournament has to offer and we are a sampling. Yeah, they brought the right people because the idea I think is to have people who are having a good time and we are having a good time. We are having a good time. Yeah, we are what about 48 hours into this visit to Indian Wells. We all we didn't quite all travel together. Matt and I traveled together on the same flight. And we met David in a plan that felt like it could only go wrong. Two flight scheduled to land at the same time at LAX airport and they sort of did and we met up with David as planned in oversized baggage claim at LAX airport waiting for your golf clubs to arrive, which they duly did. And then waiting to see if we would get a car big enough for them all to fit in. And we did. Yeah, and it turns out the sort of car that is big enough for all of our luggage to fit in is more of a sort of a midsize RV, isn't it? It's so freaking almost. It's a car so large. They just don't make that car in England. See over the roof of it. 6 foot 7. David, David was sliding into our parking space earlier and they had to move the cones. To make it big. Get it in. So yeah, folks, we are having a very lovely time, aren't we? Yesterday was a sort of settling in day, wandering around, watching Matt react to Indian Wells for the first time watching David. So you could all in I felt like I was experiencing it all for the first time kind of via osmosis. Through both Matt walked into the media center. Discovered that the media seating on stadium one is literally inside the media center and he just turned around and said, I'm never leaving. It makes so much sense. It's so great. You can literally be at your desk and watching tennis at the same time. I love it. And then all the way out to the media center today. I was coming to this. Giving away free dates. I can't believe we thought we'd peaked with wireless charging at the desk in Melbourne. What small fry, that seems now. Now that three dates are three dates. Matt fasman of The New York Times was catching two packets. And we've heard all too well, ten minute version. Twice. Taylor Swift has been pumped out. I mean, it's like they really have laid out the red carpet for us. Yeah, it's been quite a couple of days yesterday. It was mostly just settling in, getting our bearings, just trying to wipe the grins off our faces and today was media day. Where most of the top players came through the press conference room and spoke to us and other assorted journalists will be bringing you the best of our impressions, is that is that overbilling it? No. I won't be doing impressions of them, but yeah. The gist of what they said will be we'll be breaking down the draw a little bit for you, certainly the highlights of the draw. The draw that, by the way, has already started, as we come to you, we are watching first round action on our screen at tennis podcast towers is Anna kalinskaya playing a leisure parks and it's not going all too well for Alicia parks is that she's having, in fact, let's be Frank about this. She's having an absolute shocker. I think she must be nervous. She's panicking. It's going dreadfully. She can barely win a match outdoors. Alicia park since winning that title in Leon anyway. We dwell on the negative. For too long, there are far too many positives to keep you up to date with, including a very exciting bit of news, which is that we're going to have a new competition to offer you with a very, very, very, very, very special prize. And I'm going to do a radio presenter Y thing, hey David, and I'm going to say stay tuned. For more details of that later in the show. Yeah, that'll stop them. Pressing battle. Yeah. And they'll also be news of how you can how you can meet us if you are coming to Indian Wells. There's no way to say that. There's no way to say that without sounding like an absolute tool. So I've said it and I'll be saying it again. We'll be doing we'll be doing meet and greets. Depending on demand, we'll either be doing meet and greets or standing around. Pretending that that's where we just want to hang out. We're talking amongst ourselves. Yeah, so please, please come. Please come to the Steve fogel's international tennis tools booth on the site at the Indian Wells tennis garden. We'll be doing meet and greets every day. Subject to demand.

"Over 1100 searchers have gone out and searched over 4.6 miles or 7.4 kilometers, all around the wells property. Roughly 14,000 hours have been spent searching for something. Anything. The FBI child abduction rapid deployment card team was even brought into assist in this case. So they've literally got anyone and everyone out that they can, they're searching by land, water, air, they've got dogs, everyone, and they have found not a trace of summer. Anywhere. Which tells me that she definitely did not wander off either. Because if she had in all of this space around the property, there would have been something to find. A piece of clothing, what have you, especially after three months? And remember, this area is full of wildlife in the terrain is just rugged as all hell. The searchers were having a difficult time with it. We're talking experienced personnel who are getting sick from the heat, they're passing out, they're getting hurt, all of that. Now imagine a 5 year old out there by herself. They're being absolutely nothing tells me that she did not wander off on her own. It's just very, very unlikely in my opinion. And it just makes this case even more bizarre. Where is she? Donald wells actually stated at one point that he feels bad for those out there searching for summer because of the conditions. He doesn't believe she's in the area anymore at this point. Remember, he and his wife were firm on the fact that summer has been taken by someone. But he does understand that they have to search out in the Woods. It's just part of the investigation. Now we are going to backtrack a little bit here. We are going to go back to October 2020. So not too far. It was during this time that Candice filed for a protective order against Donald. She said that she was afraid for the safety of her and her children, which wow. This stopped me in my tracks when I found this. I honestly was not expecting that. On the 14th of October, 2020, deputies responded to a domestic assault situation, at the home of Candice, Donald wells and their four children. Donald was charged with.

"At one point summer goes into the house to play with her toys. And this is the last time she would be seen by anybody, as far as we know. On this Tuesday summer's family called the police to report her missing. This was around 6 30 p.m. that they made the call. At the time that the family called summer had only been gone for about ten minutes. So they acted very quickly, which is good. We need that in a case like this. That evening of the 15th an endangered child alert was put out for summer, and the very next day, June 16th, 2021, the endangered child alert was apt to a state wide amber alert. It was at this time that updated photos of summer were put out to show her most current appearance. And we'll touch on this just a little bit more later. Authorities spent day and night searching for summer. The terrain around her family's home was really rough and very difficult to navigate. There's dense Woods, steep hills, thick layers of just plants and grasses. Just so much to sift through while at the same time trying to be thorough and safe, never mind the heat and the weather conditions that accompanied the terrain. This all made the search for summer very difficult right off the bat and to top it all off, cell phone service in the area was also horrible in spotty, and this made it very, very tough for authorities to keep in contact with each other. Now, what happened up to the point that summer vanished? I had to put the pieces together based on available reports. So let's break it all down. From what I found, summer's dad, Donald wells, was working late that Tuesday. So he wasn't home at the time of her disappearance. The evening of the 15th summer was outside her home, planting flowers with her mom, Candace bly, slash wells, she is referred to as both throughout many sources. And her grandmother, Candace, terror, which they have the same exact name and it's the same exact.

"Hello. I am back for round two this week. I am so excited to get to make two episodes this week. So I'm thinking maybe every now and then I might just hit you guys with a surprise episode here and there and yeah. So you never know. You might get an extra episode every now and then. This episode is to make up for the one that I missed when I was sick. I finally had the time to sit down and do double the research, so you are getting that makeup episode right now. You guys just got episode 8 and hopefully I can get this one out, recorded, edited, all of that. By tonight, if not Friday, I really want this out before the weekend if I can get it to you. Now I'm going to hit you with the bad news right off the bat. This is a child case. However, there isn't anything graphic involved. This is a missing person's case, but the fact that it does involve a child could make some people uncomfortable, so I wanted to let you guys know that right at the top this case is still unsolved and like the last episode is very recent and doesn't have a ton of information. Like last episode, all we know is what apparently happened what's been done so far and that's about it. There's just not a lot. But in this case, there's definitely some contradictory things happening that you can go back and forth with all day. When I was doing the research on this case, there was an update as of just 8 hours previous. It wasn't much of an update as all it said was there were no updates, but I guess an update is an update? And the word update officially has no more meaning at this point. Anyways, let's get to the disappearance of summer wells. Summer moon Utah wells is her full name. She is from rogersville, Tennessee. And I want to start off by talking a little bit about summer and telling you who she is, according to her family. To start, she is very young, she is only 5 years old. But she is just a little ball of fire, according to her family. She is absolutely the boss of everyone, especially her three older brothers. She loved spending time with them and gave them a run for their money every chance she got. Summer was a tomboy at heart and loved to play in the mud and get dirty and just be a kid. She also had a softer side to her, though. She loved to play dress up, especially dress up as princess Elsa, from frozen, and she loved to dance around the house with her dad. She would tell her dad to hold her hands and twirl her around, and her dad said that she would ask for this until his arms hurt. Which is just precious. Now we are at Tuesday, June 15th, 2021. That's right. Literally three months ago. 5 year old summer is outside her home this afternoon. She is planting flowers with her mom and grandmother, which is.

In cover a music figure a music icon. So i wanted to be sure that from a great suggestion that i received that i'm covering the vast diversity in character in values that are available in all industries not just in the historic building of america. So please stay tuned for next episode but the individual in today's story was above all things daring in outspoken. their life's work centered around giving a voice to the silenced. And empowering the disenfranchised this person had to endure awful tragedies having everything they stood for challenged risking their life in limb just for the betterment of others and in spite of all the hate resistance they became one of the most iconic figures in our history for taking on generations of stereotypes and discrimination. These stories always get a bit close to home for me as well because i love to write in always appreciate a fellow author. So in today's episode we will be covering the impassioned the influential the inspiring ida b wells ida. B wells was born ida bell wells on july sixteenth eighteen sixty two in holly springs mississippi. Ida was the eldest. Born to james and lizzie wells. Who had seven other children. All were born in slaved as they lived on a plantation in mississippi whom or members of the confederacy during the civil war in the previous episode. We talked a bit about president. Lincoln's revolutionary decision to issue the emancipation proclamation on january. First eighteen sixty three during the civil war ida in her family were officially freed from slavery as they resided in a confederate state before either was one year old immediately following.

Ida's father james was directly involved in starting in serving on the board of trustees for school for freed african americans that school rushed. College is still a notable inactive university. Today falling under the umbrella of historically black colleges and universities ida would begin her educational career at this school attending in her early teens. Sadly heartbreaking circumstances would find ida early on in life in eighteen seventy eight while visiting her grandmother. I learned harling news. Ida's mother father in her youngest sibling. Just an infant had passed away from yellow fever. Her parents sudden-death turn ida from a teenager with no children into a parent of six suffering from the grief and loss of one's parents. It would be understandable for a child to shy away in resist taking on a role with such incredible responsibility but did ida shy away from her obligation torture family. Absolutely not i realize that. She had to become the sole provider for herself in her siblings and planned for next steps. Accordingly ida dropped out of school in did the impossible. Although ida was in her early teens reportedly to be aged sixteen at the most of the time for parents death she was able to convince a local county administrator that she was eighteen years old and secured a job as a teacher. We can already see how her parents early influence lived on through artists dedication to education after a few years working in mississippi ardy decided to move her family to memphis tennessee or a close family member. Currently lives around eighteen. Eighty four upon her arrival in memphis ida was able to again secure work as a teacher and began taking classes at the nearby school of fisk university. Located in nashville. It was on one of her routine train. Rides from memphis to nashville that ida would experience a fateful event. That would light a fire in her. That could not be contained for the rest of her days on this particular day ida had purchased a first class ticket for her. Commute from memphis to nashville. When ida attempted to board the first clash train in sit in her paid for seat the train conductors demanded that she moved to another car that was designated for african americans. Ida as any sensible person would refused. She had paid for ticket and was rightly entitled to sit in her current place in first class naturally. The train operators became enraged. The nation was still so polarized after the civil war and although african americans were free they were not at all treated as human beings. Let alone equals who are afforded basic rights. A black woman such as ida standing up for herself with unacceptable to say the least ida was forcibly removed from the train. But not without a fight it was reported that ida was able to injure one of the men though. I'm sure not at all what was deserved based on her treatment. But i didn't stop the fight there. She filed a lawsuit against the train company and initially won the case and was awarded settlement after an appeal to the federal level. The case was overturned in the original verdict. Vacated idle lost her settlement and was ordered.

How do you know what a good supplement is. We talked about trusted brands. We talked about proprietary bland's Did full transparency lay full transparency. Labeling did we do. We touched on that. But is there anything else that you want people to know about full transparency. Yeah i mean it just gets down to again like the. I think the trusted brands like that's going to be like they're not going to have the ridiculous claims they're not going to have. The proprietary blends are going to have the quality control. They're going to have a label that makes sense is clear is full disclosure. You see that genus and species of the irv you see the standardization. If it's like standardized for you know some active like jensen aside if jin thing and you know you see the plant part. It's the rooch and you see the dose and all of that is clear and then i like to see like a lot less ingredients because it's if people don't know the exact show something should be in it it at least a good sign that if there's like three to six ingredients maybe that's like that they're in there for good reason. They have complementary mechanisms of action meaning like they. There's synergy when put these ingredients together. I don't like to see like let's say a blood. Sugar product then has twelve herbs that all supposedly work on blood sugar. It's like well. What are they all doing in there. And are they all at an effective dose. Because you really like if they all work on the same mechanism then there should be one of them. Whatever one's the best and is fully does just put that in right. They work on different mechanisms of action. Okay like let's put those in and and they can all work together in concert and have synergy but at some point there's too many ingredients and it just becomes marketing fluff I like to look for like less. Ingredients is more usually like you like to say kitchen sink.
